Evidence-led stories that make a difference.

Clarity with compassion. Evidence with impact.
At Astor, we craft health-sector films that balance sensitivity, clinical accuracy and cinematic quality. From patient journeys and service explainers to surgical training and research impact stories, our work informs, reassures and connects—without ever losing sight of dignity and care.
Developing Your Clinical Storytelling
From Insight to Impact
Great health and research films start with empathy and accuracy. Our team partners with clinicians, comms and governance leads, researchers and patient representatives (PPI) to shape concepts that are on-brief, on-brand and clinically sound. We then translate them into clear lay summaries, scripts and storyboards your approval routes can sign off with confidence—balancing sensitivity, data privacy and accessibility at every step.
What you get: tailored concepts, mood boards, scripts, storyboards, shot lists, schedules, risk assessments, rights/consent workflows and brand-aligned creative direction.

Elements of The Creative Video Process
Get to know
your service or study
We start by understanding your context—care pathways, patient groups, research aims and governance. We review brand and accessibility guidelines, privacy considerations (GDPR/Data Protection Act), and identify approval routes with clinical leads, comms and R&D. Where appropriate, we involve PPI groups to ensure language and approach feel empathetic and clear.
Build the narrative of care and impact
Together we map the story beats—who’s involved, what will happen, and why it matters. For clinical services this might be a step-by-step “what to expect”; for research it could be problem, method, findings and real-world impact. We create plain-English messaging and lay summaries so every stakeholder—from consultants to patients—can sign off with confidence.
Visualise the Pathway
Before cameras roll, we plan the capture in detail: storyboards, shot lists, schedules and access protocols. We scope locations (wards, clinics, labs, simulation suites), infection-prevention considerations, chaperone needs, and anonymisation options. Graphics, medical illustrations and on-screen titles are designed to reinforce accuracy and your brand.
Refine & ready
We pressure-test scripts and edits for clinical accuracy, accessibility and compliance. This includes consent and safeguarding checks (adult/child/capacity), captioning and transcripts as standard, clear-audio mixes, and content warnings where suitable. We master for all channels—16:9, 1:1 and 9:16—and nothing is released until it’s reviewed by clinical/governance approvers and formally signed off.
Video that brings healthcare, research and education to life.
lab discoveries
We capture the realities of care and the breakthroughs behind it—making complex topics clear for patients, clinicians and the public. With cinematic craft and a practical, compliant approach, we deliver assets that educate, reassure and inspire action.
Our productions include:
-
Patient stories & pathways – humane case studies that build understanding and trust.
-
Service explainers – what to expect before, during and after treatment.
-
Clinical training & e-learning – skills demonstrations, simulation and CPD modules.
-
Surgical/theatre capture – tightly planned, sterile-field-aware filming with minimal footprint.
-
Research & impact films – translate complex studies and trials into clear, credible narratives.
-
Public health campaigns – behaviour-change content for communities and staff.
-
Workforce & recruitment – employer-brand films for trusts, clinics and medtech.
-
Facility tours & inductions – orientation for patients, staff and visitors.
-
Animation & medical illustration – diagrams, 3D/2D graphics, data visualisation.
-
Event coverage – conferences, symposiums, awards and graduations (medical schools).
Deliverables: masters for web, broadcast and social (16:9, 1:1, 9:16), captioned & clean versions, transcripts, BSL or VO options, translated subtitles, secure delivery and usage-rights documentation.
Concise, broadcast-driven and professional.
Why healthcare organisations choose Astor
Healthcare communications demand trust. We combine empathetic storytelling with subject-matter rigour—aligning with clinical leads, governance teams and comms to deliver content that’s humane, compliant and effective.
We’re experienced in live clinical environments, simulation suites and research labs, using low-profile, broadcast-class kit to capture clean, composed visuals safely. Collaboration is non-negotiable: we work shoulder-to-shoulder with clinicians, patients, PPI groups and safeguarding leads so every frame is appropriate, accessible and on-brand.
In short: compassion deserves craftsmanship—and measurable results.
At a glance:
-
Empathetic narratives – real people, plain-English stories, dignity first.
-
Subject-matter sensitivity – robust consent, privacy and compliance.
-
Technical precision – theatre-ready workflows, pro lighting and audio.
-
Versatile delivery – patient comms, training, service overviews, recruitment.

Frequently asked questions
How do you manage filming in live clinical areas?
We plan around patient flow, agree red/amber/green zones with ward managers, and keep crews lean. Where needed, we schedule out-of-hours capture or use simulation spaces.
What about consent and privacy?
We use clear, capacity-appropriate consent forms and signage, and provide chaperones where required. We avoid identifiers and can blur/name-strip footage if needed.
Can you work with our clinical governance team?
Yes—scripts and cuts go through nominated clinical reviewers; we’re comfortable with multi-stage approvals and version control.
Do you produce training content suitable for CPD/e-learning?
Absolutely. We structure modules with learning outcomes, chaptering, on-screen summaries and accessible transcripts.
Can you support research projects?
Yes—patient-friendly summaries, ethics-aware capture, and visualisation of methods/results for dissemination and impact reporting.
How quickly you can deliver?
Rapid updates (e.g., service notices) can turn around in 24–72 hours. Larger projects typically complete in 2–6 weeks depending on scope and approvals.
